Shin Wal-New Moon- I must say, you intrigued me. Unfortunately, Kagome does not have her backpack with her, so no Ramen :( Maybe in the fuuuuture chapters she'll bring some from her home ;) About Inu-Papa. Even if he's Inuyasha's dad, he doesn't like Ramen. But I'll tell you a secret. Izayoi does ;)

Okay, I know last chapter was short. But I just wanted to show you guys, that I'm alive, and so does this story:) And I'm glad you did not leave it after my absence and still waited for new chapters.

So, here it goes :)

"I walked to there, where the earth ended, and found out, that we are limitless, chained to ground, free, slaves and beautiful at the same time"

"You cannot cook." Was the dog demon's statement. Kagome crossed her arms over her chest.

"You did not even try it!" She complained. Inu no Taishou looked at roasted rabbit, that turned black and had to be really crunchy.

"I'd rather eat it raw." He stated. Kagome narrowed her eyes. Here, she spent a few hours preparing rabbit and then roasting it in fire, getting herself dirty from smoke and soot, and that ungrateful dog still dared to complain!

Even Inuyasha did not complain about her cooking like his father did. Well, maybe it had something to do with difference between making roasted rabbit and pouring steaming water into cup of Ramen, but come on! He could at least pretend he likes it!

"Why eat it raw, when I made it roasted specially for you?" She tried to be nice. She really did. Inu no Taishou glanced at her.

"You try it first."

"Why? Come on, I did not poison it! It's edible!"

Inu no Taishou knew, that she worked hard, but he just couldn't make himself try this black... thing.

"I'm not really hungry. But you... You should eat something!" He stated, as he stood up from the ground. "That's right. Eat, and then go to sleep. Tomorrow we won't get so much rest. And I hope you won't slow us down anymore."

Kagome sighed, then took rabbit's leg in her hand. Her feet did not hurt anymore, so she won't be a burden. She raised her head and looked at darkening sky.

"Ano... How far from here is The Western Land?" She asked as she took a bite of the leg. Next second she spit it out. "Pfui!"

Inu no Taishou smirked at this, but decided to not comment on it. "If we keep walking whole day, we would arrive there in two days."

Kagome blinked. "Two days?" She thrown away rabbit's legs and closed her eyes. 'Two days is not long. But I have been there for so long and I have never seen any castles nearby.' "So it's not very far away."

"Yes. And I'd like to arrive there as fast as possible." Added youkai, as he turned his gaze towards far West.

Kagome opened her eyes. "It's all about this dragons, right?" She asked. Inu no Taishou shook his head.

"Not really. They attack quite often. I just have not been home for months." He stated. Kagome lowered her eyes.

"So... It's about your family?" Now, she realized she'll meet younger version of Sesshoumaru, though she did not know how much younger.

"It's more about politics. You know, I've got business I need to attend to." Once again he proved her wrong. Kagome stood up in instant.

"Don't you want to see your family?" She asked surprised. She couldn't believe how cold could act this man. Kagome missed her family even after two days of not seeing them. Inu no Taishou turned his head towards her and shot her a dark look.

"What do you know about them? It does not concern you."

Kagome shivered at his cold voice. "Well, I don't really know how the families in demon society work. I just thought... Nevermind." She turned her back to him. "I-I'll go bathe now." She stated, as she disappeared among trees.

Inu no Taishou huffed, then sat on the grass and looked at the dark sky. He knew he shouldn't talk to Kagome like this, but his family was a very sensitive subject. And he didn't like to talk about them.

But very soon he'll have to face his wife and son. And still he didn't even know how to greet them. He was rarely home and everyone became so distant to him. But he didn't want to think about it right now.

He should leave these saddening thoughts until he meets them.

atraSpei: Again, it's short. But I can't write long chapters T-T. I'd rather write short chapters and update more often, than sit in chair for weeks trying to write one god-damned loooong chapter. Is it okay?

I hope it is. Anyways, review :)
